Abstract
Abstract This article seeks to link the processes of gentrification in Montreal’s Mile End neighbourhood with its musical history over the past twenty years. A selective chronology of independent music from the neighbourhood is described, beginning with the early years of instrumental rock group Godspeed You Black Emperor! and concluding with the recent output of electronic music label Arbutus Records, via the commercial breakthrough of Arcade Fire’s Funeral album in 2004. Through a discussion of the ideas of Henri Lefebvre, Sharon Zukin and David Ley’s interpretation of the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, it is argued that the music produced in the neighbourhood can be seen as unified with its physical spaces in a number of ways under contemporary capitalism; in their parallel trajectories of progression and renewal and in the way they both construct and are constructed by notions of ‘place’. While it is argued that the dynamism of the music scene in Mile End has been intimately connected to broader processes of urban economic restructuring, the article also highlights the challenges an increasingly gentrified Mile End faces in maintaining its status as a fertile centre of cultural production.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
